I recognize and acknowledge that as a recipient of the personal training services provided by the Downer Fitness Garner, LLC I and/or my minor/ward will periodically engage in strenuous physical activities involving the use of weight training and other exercise equipment such as treadmills, free weights, elliptical machines, exercise bikes, chest presses and squat racks among other equipment, which activities entail the risk of serious and other injuries, including, but not limited to: broken bones, strains, sprains, bruises, concussions, heart attack, viral or other pathogen infection, and in some cases, permanent disability and even death. I also understand that severe social and economic loss might result not only from my own actions but also from the actions, inactions or negligence of others, or the condition of the premises or equipment used in connection with such activities. Nevertheless, I agree to assume the risk of injury, damage, or loss regardless of severity that I, my minor/ward, or other family member or kin may sustain as a result of the activities I engage in as the personal training services provided by Downer Fitness Garner, LLC
Accordingly, I agree to waive, relinquish, discharge, release, and covenant not to sue Downer Fitness Garner, LLC or its parent, sister, affiliated and/or subsidiary corporations and related entities, their members, owners, officers, directors, partners, employees, consultants, contractors, advisors, agents, insurers, attorneys and volunteers, from any and all rights, claims of injury, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities or loss that I, my minor/ward, or other family member may have or that may accrue to me, my minor/ward, or other family members arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the personal training services provided by the Downer Fitness Garner, LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Agreement, I do not waive any rights that I may seek redress due to the reckless conduct of others or due to the conduct of others, which is both intentional and wrongful.
IN FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF BEING PERMITTED TO ENTER AND USE THE BURN BOOT CAMP GARNER FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, USE OF FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN ANY ON-SITE OR OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES, I AGREE TO, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, HEIRS, NEXT OF KIN, AND/OR ASSIGNS, AND HEREBY DO RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE BURN BOOT CAMP GARNER, ITS OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS AND AGENTS, FROM ALL LIABILITY TO ME AND ALL MY PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, HEIRS, AND NEXT OF KIN OF OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEMANDS ON ACCOUNT OF ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE OR ANY INJURY TO, OR AN ILLNESS OR THE DEATH OF, ME OR ANY PERSON WHO MAY CONTRACT COVID-19, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM ME, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, OF BURN BOOT CAMP GARNER OR OTHERWISE WHILE I AM IN, UPON, OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR ANY FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT OF BURN BOOT CAMP GARNER.
I have considered that if this Agreement were not as broad as it is, the cost of the personal training services provided to me and/or my minor/ward by Downer Fitness Garner, LLC would be considerably higher and I do not wish to pay a considerably higher cost. By signing this Agreement, I waive the right to bargain for different terms in this Agreement. I also understand that if I later learn that any fact that I believed to be true at the time I signed this Agreement is later to be found incorrect, I nevertheless am bound by this Agreement. In no event shall we be liable for any cause of action, claim, damage, demand, expense, fine, investigation, liability, or penalty in excess of the amounts that you paid to us in the preceding 12 months, whether one time or in the aggregate.
You agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify us for any of your negligent or reckless acts or omissions. You warrant and represent that you have no medical or other condition, which would prohibit you from participating in any of our programs.

I have read this Agreement thoroughly and fully understand it.
